The Wing-Friends and Other Books

In Blogger's slideshows images are greatly reduced, so lose much of their impact. And captions added to them in Picasa Albums vanish, so the images shown above are: the Milky Way, the Orion Nebula, Earth, Earth with New Zealand circled, New Zealand, Auckland & the Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke Island, some native NZ forest, a Fantail and chicks, various doves, etc.

My book The Wing-Friendsis an imaginative tale of a small brave boy, a magical adventure, a magnificent Pegasus and the wonderful Kingdom of the Pegasi. It has been given very good reviews, and virtually every reader on Goodreads has so far awarded it five stars. It is available here. Some of my other writings are available as e-books, such as The Lower Deck,which is an over-the-top take on Waiheke happenings--sort of.

LAW ENTANGLED AND SPOOKY

Section 25 of the Crimes Act 1961 says: 'Ignorance of law--the fact that an offender is ignorant of the law is not an excuse for any offence committed by him or her.'

But the ruling by the 'Independent' Police Conduct
Authority's on the failure of the police to prosecute GCSB spies for
illegally spying on Kim Dotcom and scores of New Zealanders says in effect
that criminal law does not apply to spooks. They can be as ignorant,
careless, stupid or crass as they please and do as they please, but when
they break the law they cannot be touched.

It's obvious why. They
cannot tell the difference between the rule of law and the laws of quantum
physics--that bit about disconnected particles, which even if they are on
opposite sides of the universe are 'entangled', so one controls the other
and affects it instantly. Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance.'
They must have thought, 'We're spooks', so that obviously applies to us.
We're entangled with everybody else, so we can control and affect them
anyway we please.' Simple really.

About Me

My Christian name is pronounced 'noble-arn-jillo' (i.e., both o's are long, so the first two syllables rhyme with 'noble' not 'hobble'--yes, I know that's obvious, because there's only one 'b' between the 'o' and the 'i', but some people seem to see two b's, hence the English lesson). My surname is pronounced kerra-marliss. I was born, bred and educated in New Zealand, except for an international systems-engineer's course in San Antonio, Texas. I am born-again Christian, a thinker with a very practical turn of mind, a scientist with a particular interest in planet-friendly energy and neuroscience, an engineer (mechanical, industrial and IT systems), an inventor, a Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a writer and poet, a naturist, a designer in different fields, an arranger and composer of symphonic music, a multi-award-winning IT journalist, a photographer, and a practitioner at various times in other hands-on fields including building, metalwork, woodwork, stained-glass and landscaping.
